Creating the Breast Shape
Creating the desired breast shape is crucial for achieving a natural-looking result.
One method involves using soft foam. Cut the foam into the desired shape, using a template or your natural breasts as a guide. Layer the foam pieces to create the desired volume and shape. Cover the foam with a thin layer of fabric for a smooth finish.
Another option is using silicone. Create a mold of your natural breast or use a pre-made breast form as a base. Pour liquid silicone into the mold and let it cure. Once cured, trim and shape the silicone breast to achieve the desired size and shape.
You can also use water-filled bras to create a temporary bust line. Adjust the water level to achieve the desired shape and fullness. However, water-filled bras may not provide the same level of support or longevity as solid materials.
Materials for Creating Breast Shape:
| Material | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Soft foam | Lightweight, easy to shape, cost-effective | Not as durable as silicone, may compress over time |
| Silicone | Highly durable, realistic appearance, customizable | More expensive, requires specialized equipment to create |
| Water-filled bras | Temporary and adjustable, easy to use | Less supportive, may leak or burst |
Sewing the Breast Forms
To sew the breast forms, you will need the following materials:
- Two pieces of fabric (one for each breast form)
- Two pieces of batting (one for each breast form)
- A sewing machine
- Thread
- A needle
- Scissors
- A ruler or measuring tape
Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin sewing the breast forms. Start by cutting two pieces of fabric and two pieces of batting to the desired size and shape. The size and shape of the breast forms will vary depending on your individual body type.
Here are some tips for cutting the fabric and batting:
Once you have cut the fabric and batting, you can begin sewing the breast forms. Start by sewing the two pieces of fabric together, right sides together. Leave a small opening in one side of the seam for turning. Once the fabric is sewn together, turn the breast form right side out and stuff it with batting. Hand-stitch the opening closed.
Here are some tips for sewing the breast forms:
| Tip | Description |
|---|---|
| Use a strong thread. | This will help to keep the breast forms from tearing. |
| Sew the seams securely. | This will help to prevent the breast forms from coming apart. |
| Turn the breast forms right side out before stuffing them. | This will help to prevent the batting from showing through the fabric. |
| Stuff the breast forms firmly. | This will help to give them a natural shape. |
| Hand-stitch the opening closed. | This will help to keep the batting from falling out. |
Finishing Touches and Adjustments
Applying Makeup and Concealer
Once the breasts are secure and comfortable, use makeup or concealer to perfect their appearance. Apply a light foundation or concealer over the breast forms to match your skin tone. You can use a darker shade to create shadows and a lighter shade to highlight the curves.
Adjusting the Straps
Properly adjusted straps are crucial for support and comfort. Tighten or loosen the shoulder straps to ensure a secure fit. Adjust the bra band to prevent it from digging into your skin. Pay attention to the position of the straps on your shoulders, ensuring they don’t slip off or cause discomfort.
Fine-Tuning the Shape
For a realistic appearance, add subtle adjustments to the shape of the breasts. Use a pillow or rolled-up towel to lift and support them to your desired position. This helps create a natural-looking cleavage and prevents the breasts from sagging or looking artificial.
Minimizing Lines of Separation
If the breasts form a noticeable line of separation, use a brush or sponge to gently blend the edges of the forms with your skin. Apply makeup or concealer along the seam to create a seamless appearance. This helps disguise the transition between the forms and your body.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Breasts slipping or drooping | Adjust the straps or bra band; add padding or support; consider using adhesive |
| Breasts uncomfortable | Adjust the straps, bra band, or breast forms; try using a softer bra or cushioning |
| Makeup uneven or noticeable | Blend makeup thoroughly; use a setting spray or powder to enhance longevity |
| Lines of separation visible | Use makeup or concealer to camouflage the edges; apply adhesive or tape along the seam |
Attaching the Breasts to Your Clothing
Once you have created your false breasts, you will need to attach them to your clothing. There are several ways to do this, depending on the type of clothing you are wearing. Here are a few tips:
1. Using a Bra
The easiest way to attach false breasts is to use a bra. Simply put the breasts inside the bra cups and secure the bra around your body. Make sure that the breasts are securely fastened so that they do not fall out.
2. Using a Body Adhesive
Body adhesive is a strong adhesive that can be used to attach false breasts to your skin. Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the breasts and press them into place. Hold the breasts in place for a few minutes until the adhesive dries.
3. Using a Strapless Bra
A strapless bra can be used to attach false breasts if you are not wearing a regular bra. Simply put the breasts inside the bra cups and secure the bra around your body. Make sure that the bra is tight enough to hold the breasts in place, but not so tight that it is uncomfortable.
4. Using a Waistband
A waistband can be used to attach false breasts if you are wearing a skirt or pants. Simply wrap the waistband around your body and secure it in place. Then, put the breasts inside the waistband and secure them in place with a safety pin or other type of fastener.
5. Using a Garter Belt
A garter belt can be used to attach false breasts if you are wearing stockings. Simply put the breasts on the garter belt and secure them in place. Then, put on your stockings and secure the garter belt around your thigh.
6. Using a Bodysuit
A bodysuit can be used to attach false breasts if you are wearing a bodysuit.
7. Using a Specialized Bra for Prosthetic Breasts
There are also specialized bras available that are designed specifically for holding prosthetic breasts. These bras typically have a wider band and more support than regular bras, and they may also have special features such as pockets or cups that are designed to hold the breasts in place. This method is recommended for the best comfort and security, and it is generally the most expensive option.
Wearing False Breasts
To wear false breasts, you will need to choose a bra that fits snugly and provides good support. You may also want to use a breast shaper or enhancer to create a more natural look.

False breasts should fit comfortably without constricting your circulation. Tight fitting can lead to discomfort, pain, and impaired blood flow.
4. Inspect Regularly
Examine your false breasts regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Replace them immediately if you notice any tears, holes, or fraying.
5. Clean Properly
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your false breasts. Use mild soap and warm water, and avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.

Keep false breasts away from sharp objects that could puncture or tear the materials.
7. Store Properly
When not in use, store false breasts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
8. Consult a Healthcare Professional
If you have any concerns about the safety or comfort of your false breasts, consult a healthcare professional for advice.
9. Monitor for Skin Irritation
If you experience any redness, itching, or discomfort while wearing false breasts, discontinue use and seek medical attention.
10. Consider Specialized Products for Sensitive Skin
For individuals with sensitive skin, consider specialized false breasts made with hypoallergenic materials or designed with gentle adhesives to minimize irritation.
